I'm trying to create an interactive movie where the user presses a key and a
certain action occurs. It works great when I use the space bar or arrow keys
as the hot key but I need the movie to react when the letter A is pressed.
Simple solution?

Sorry if I did not define the problem very clearly. There are 9 movie clips
that I want to control on the stage. If I enter this chunk of code to an
invisible button on the stage:

on (keyPress "<Space>") {
_root.redBox.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

I am able to then play one of the movie clips. Instead of being played by the
space bar, I want the movie to be played with the letter "A". I want the next
movie clip to be played by the letter "B" and so on.

if you're using as2, you should be using the key class so you don't need any
buttons (visible or not) and can code everything in one place and more
succinctly:



this.onKeyDown=function(){
if(Key.getAcsii()==65){
_root.redBox.gotoAndPlay(2);
} else if(Key.getAcsii()==67){
_root.nextMovie.gotoAndPlay(2);
} else if(...}
}
Key.addListener(this);

Thanks for your help, it's now working. I didn't know about the Ascii codes
